Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of providing very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.209305 percent of its patients. This figure is also much better than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be effective as this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.58 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which was among the better figures we found. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored turned out to be this facility's weakest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of B- for short-term care. Short-term care grades are typically used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 44.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
